Hi, I am dividing my question in 2 sub parts.
A) I am an Indian Hindu & my girlfriend is an Indonesian Catholic. We wish to get married next year 2011. She doen't want to change her religion, & we have planned to live in India only.
1. What kind of VISA she should take to come here.
2. Once she is here, after how many days can we get married?
3. We wish to have marriage in Hindu style & Catholic style. Is it advisable to have a court marriage first under Special Marriage Act, 1954 & later go for Hindu style & Catholic style marriage?
4. Does the Indian Court Marriage requires her to produce some documents about her from her country?
5. How to cope up with the expiry of her Tourist visa of 6 months? We cannot afford to send her for visa renewals etc.
6. After how many months/year she can apply for Indian citizenship?
B) My Indonesian girlfriend has a Mother & she wants to live in India after our marriage. Initially she will come to India on Tourist visa of 6 months. She wants to buy her own flat.
1. Can my to-be-mother-in-law able to get Indian citizenship?
2. How can I cope up with her Tourist Visa which will expire in 6 months. We cannot afford to renew her VISA or asking her to go back to Indonesia every 6 months.
3. Can she purchase a flat in India? please advise.
4. She wants to sell her property in Indonesia & transfer money to India, What is the best way of sending money?
I have so many questions to ask, I will be very grateful to you if you can answer them.

5.That you have to do.
6.It is a formality .It shall depends upon the furnishing of the documents.
